Muscle fiber excitation system

Muscle fiber excitation system

Abstract

Persons unable to exercise due to old age, immobility or medical condition may develop low bone density, decline in muscle contraction, blood pooling or clot. Due to musculoskeletal fragility caution is required in bone and muscle strengthening. Similarly, caution is required to use anticoagulant drug to prevent blood clot due to side effect, and compression devices are not as effective as drug. This paper presents a transcutaneous muscle fiber excitation system adaptable for use in seated, walking or lying position. Clinical trials will determine performance in pathological cases.
